MATLAB onramp: Learn scientific coding with ChatGPT's help

Welcome to "MATLAB Onramp: Learn Scientific Coding with ChatGPT's Help"!

This course is designed to revolutionize your journey to mastering MATLAB, one of the industry's leading programming languages for data visualization, numerical computation, and algorithm development.

This course is unique in that it integrates ChatGPT, a powerful AI language model developed by OpenAI, to support and enhance your learning experience.

Who is this course for?

Whether you're a student trying to grapple with MATLAB for your coursework, a researcher aiming to analyze large data sets, or a professional seeking to enhance your coding skills, this course is tailored for you. No prior programming knowledge is required -- I start from the basics and gradually build up to more complex topics.

What will you learn?

This course takes a comprehensive and engaging approach to learning MATLAB, covering everything from the basics of MATLAB's desktop environment, variable types, scripts and functions, to data import/export, control statement architecture, and data visualization techniques.

But you won't stop there... you will be introduced to ChatGPT and learn how to utilize this AI tool effectively to aid your coding journey. ChatGPT can translate natural language into code, improve your code, help in choosing the right coding structures, assist in debugging, and even explain complex code in plain English! This unique blend of learning to code while having an AI assistant is a novelty that sets our course apart.

Throughout the course, you will:

• Understand the MATLAB desktop environment and how to use MATLAB as a calculator

• Learn about different types of variables including numbers, strings, logic, and structures

• Gain insights into the organization of scripts and functions, and the significance of function inputs and outputs

• Develop skills to read and write data in MATLAB, text, and Excel formats

• Master control statements such as if-else, for-loops, and while-loops

• Learn about data visualization and figure plotting in MATLAB

• Get introduced to coding errors and debugging strategies, including the FIP (find, inspect, plot) strategy

• And much more...

Course highlights:

• Detailed explanations of core MATLAB concepts with clear, visual examples

• Plenty of hands-on exercises and practical applications to solidify your understanding

• Interactive guidance from ChatGPT to assist with coding problems, debugging, and understanding complex concepts

• Access to downloadable resources and code files for offline study and practice

Why choose this course?

Your instructor, Mike (that's me!), brings over 20 years of experience teaching programming and data visualization. With a deep understanding of the hurdles that students face when learning MATLAB, I have designed this course not just to teach MATLAB, but to build strong, transferable programming skills. My teaching is complemented by ChatGPT, which is available for interactive programming help and guidance.
